friday, as i mentioned, some mix precip, sleet. rain, maybe a little freezing rain and wet snow which will eventually transition into rain on saturday. 38, 32. critical temperatures there. 42 on saturday. warmer for sunday and monday. back up in the mid- to upper 40s, with partly cloudy skies. so there's chilly air coming. but it will warm up by the end of the weekend. they -- mary? >> wasn't a pleasant commute in parts of oklahoma this morning. this was the scene in tulsa, as freezing rain made for treacherous driving conditions. several areas could see several inches of snow. the one bright side is that any precipitation will help the state's ongoing drought conditions. an international manhunt is under way for a gunman who pulled off one of the biggest diamond heists in years. $50 million in jewels stolen in minutes. mark phillips explains, the theft was like a scene out of a movie. >> reporter: the diamond world

is buzzing over the heist. but not shocked. massive values of diamonds are assessed and shipped every day through an twerp, less than 30 miles from brussels airport, and the center of the world diamond market, which handles diamonds daily. it&it a fortress. the thieves knew where the weak link was, the airport fence, which they cut through. apparently disguised as police officers, and driving two vehicles with flashing police- type lights, they made straight for the gates where the swiss plane was loading passengers passengers and freight. they brandished weapons, but didn't need to fire a shot as they went straight for the diamonds destined for zurich, but which never got there. just as quickly, they were back through the fence and gone. the only evidence left behind, a burnt-out van, apparently set on fire, to destroy any fingerprints or other evidence. greg campbell is a writer on diamond crime. >> i think in terms of brazenness, this is really

highly ranking. in terms of the amount of loot that they got away with, it still comes in pretty big. $50 million worth of diamonds and precious metals is quite a bit of money. >> reporter: it was clever, but not that clever. stolen diamonds don't sell like legit ones. >> i imagine if they say they get 20% of the value. >> reporter: still, 20% of a big number is a big number. which is why diamond theft is a growth industry. in real life and in the movies. >> i would say that compared to other heists in the past, this was less "oceans 11" because it wasn't necessarily as elegant as other crimes that have taken place in antwerp. >> reporter: that was mark phillips reporting. no one was hurt. police say they have a few leads, but again, no arrests have been made. a frightening moment is caught on a traffic camera in missouri, as a minivan approached a work crew on the streets. watch oz one of the vehicles hits one of the workers. police say they were employees of a water company. they say the victim was taken to the hospital with nonlife-
